Religion, Politics & Heavy Weight issues...

Dang! More coffee sneezed over the keyboard.
So the personals are more than just trivial drivel??
Nothing like being dragged through life by the pubics.

Now there's an interesting idea .. I think it would be of value, but think it might indirectly create animosity between crew?

Your thoughts?

(And anybody want to be the moderator?! )

Yep Im in, Mark can be good cop

Can there be another subsection for chemtrails and other conspiracy theories.

I though that's what this thread was.

I really think it should be a separate forum though so that any topic in any forum which was drifting that way could simply be transplanted to "The Angry Corner" forum, or "Heavyweight issues" forum.
The topic need not be started in this forum. They can start anywhere and just be transferred to it when they are deemed not appropriate for the forum they started in.
I know some people don't like reading stuff like that but it is pretty obvious from the number of times these threads pop up, the number of replies to these topics and the number of hits on them, those topics are of interest to many people.
The fact is, a lot of those topics are discussing important issues which affect the society we live in and although this is a water sports forum, the people in it are still members of that society.
To tell them to naff off to some other forum to discuss other topics is in effect, telling your client base to go elsewhere.
I fully agree that the boss of the website has the right to do that but I would question whether it's the right thing to do. Once people go elswhere for one or two things they tend to stay there for a lot more than those one or two things.
I am also aware that the people who are offended by that sort of stuff will still look at those topics just so they can be offended and then complain about it. That's just part of the human condition.

As far as creating animosity between the crew, most people who get steamed up about some comment or someone else's point of view get over it pretty quickly.
It's all just words and when I read something way off the scale I just shake my head in disbelief and move on.

Regarding who should be moderator, you should appoint someone who is an expert in each field to moderate any post relevant to their area of expertise.
For instance;-
topics on chemtrails would have to be pm33.
topics on conspiracies, well again,.. pm33.
topics on the new world order, ummm,.. pm33
topics on financial management and silver aquisitions,,.. umm,.. pm33 and flysurfer.
gee,.. topics on anything wierd and unbelievable really,..pm33

You can kaeep a nautical flavour to it and call it the "Heavy water" forum.

^^^Enter at own risk

the thunderdome
the squall
the cold front
the trough

Yep, thats the one I recon

I'm happy to moderate

How did they get a mention in here ?
Just curious what what do most people think of the Bra Boys BTW ? Just curious.

Can't say I've ever met one, media hype only.

My thoughts as well.
I'm sure deep down they are a great bunch of blokes.

yeah that was pretty ordinary dave - thought it was pisspoor with kids around

Another thing we have Little Johnny to thank for. His "too much political correctness" speech encouraged all the cockroaches to come out from the skirting boards, and we have the devil's own job to chase them outside now.
If I'd been on that bus, I'd have been thinking: "the things you see when you haven't got a gun..."
But seriously, it's about time the decent majority started standing up to these scum. My resolution: if ever I come up against this, I'll confront it. I'm not built for fighting, quite frankly the prospect scares me, but if we want to keep this country the wonderful place it is we all have to stand up for it.
